For comparison, in real life football, all first seeded and second seeded teams are not put together in the early rounds. It is sort of planned that if top seeded teams passed through the early rounds, they will meet each other later.
If the registration was in auto I would agree with you but joining the event show at least some minimum activity.
I can agree that a table with 10 teams of 40% q looks silly (and rather tricky ) as an active team can build a a squad of 80% quality to play seriously the game.
So I would say a q difference of 5% looks fair (ok max 10%) to make the contest interest.
Actually to be like associations. Close qualities.

I 'm playing the contest with four teams. I 'm waiting the end of day to show you the tables where 60-70% of the teams didn't play a single game.
Is this fun ?
